Who We Are

I found myself acting
Like you do today
Repeating words you would say
I wonder if you meant
To be so easy to read
Only making sense in your own way
Do you know how fearless you are
And how we grown
To appreciate the scars
So much of you
Has taken us this far
Your influence has
Left a lasting mark
Though it took some time
To realise
It's no surprise
It's part of who we are
I caught myself thinking
Aloud like you do
Thoughts I never meant
To turn to words
I'd like to think that
I could be as selfless
As you are always putting
Other people first
Do you know how fearless you are
And how we grown
To appreciate the scars
So much of you has taken us this far
Your influence has left
A lasting mark
Though it took some time to realise
It's no surprise
It's part of who we are
I never want to reach the day
When I'm not learning from
Your every way
Your words will always stay
We know it isn't easy
To be on your own
But you've inspired us and
Made a happy home
Do you know how fearless you are
And how we grown
To appreciate the scars
So much of you
Has taken us this far
Your influence
Has left a lasting mark
Though it took
Some time to realise
It comes as no surprise
Your who we are
